• Abstract: We present the results and findings of the 2nd Swiss German speech to Standard German text shared task at SwissText 2022. Participants were asked to build a sentence-level Swiss German speech to Standard German text system specialized on the Grisons dialect. The objective was to maximize the BLEU score on a test set of Grisons speech. 3 teams participated, with the best-performing system achieving a BLEU score of 70.1.

  We introduce SeamlessM4T, a single model that supports speech-to-speech translation, speech-to-text translation, text-to-text translation, and automatic speech recognition for up to 100 languages. We developed the first multilingual system capable of translating from and into English for both speech and text. On FLEURS, SeamlessM4T sets a new standard for translations into multiple target languages, achieving an improvement of 20% BLEU over the previous SOTA in direct speech-to-text translation.
